About

My passion for advertising began when I was a young lad and I saw a commercial for the Hair Club for Men. After memorizing the entire spot (“I’m not just the Hair Club president, I'm also a client”) and performing it for my parents (lucky them), I knew that a career in advertising was what I wanted to do. 

Since my big Hair Club performance, and after going to Seneca College for Creative Advertising, I’ve been fortunate enough to work at some of Canada’s top agencies, including BBDO, Cossette, Cundari and TAXI. Through the years I’ve worked on well-known clients, including McDonald’s, BMO, General Mills, Dempster’s, Pfizer, Canadian Tire, and many more. 

My work has been recognized and awarded by Communication Arts, Marketing Awards, the Advertising Design Club of Canada, the CASSIES, Canadian Marketing Awards and Applied Arts, as well as being featured in publications, such as Marketing Magazine and AdWeek. 

I’m a storyteller at heart and love to create. So if you have a creative business problem that needs solving, let’s chat.
